The Role:We're looking for a Lead Talent Acquisition Partner to own full-cycle recruiting across Engineering, Product, and Design. This is a high-output IC role, not a player-coach. You'll carry a full req load of technical and product hires, partner directly with engineering managers, product leaders, and the design team, and run searches from intake to close.
You'll report to the TA Team Lead (EPD) and work alongside a team of Talent Partners and Coordinators across San Francisco, Montreal, and Toronto.
What You'll Do:- Own the full cycle for EPD hiring. Run searches end-to-end for software engineers, engineering managers, product managers, and product designers. You're the single-threaded owner from intake through offer acceptance.
- Source and close senior technical talent. Build pipelines for hard-to-fill roles across backend, frontend, mobile, ML/AI, platform, and infrastructure engineering. We compete for talent against top-tier SaaS companies, and you need to win those deals.
- Drive structured interview processes. Manage candidates through multi-stage technical loops that include system design, coding assessments (CodeSignal), take-home challenges, and executive panels. Keep every candidate moving with urgency.
- Partner with hiring managers as a strategic advisor. Run calibrated intakes, set search strategies, and deliver weekly pipeline reviews with data. Push back when the bar slips. Own the relationship, not just the process.
- Own your numbers. This team runs on data. You'll own your pipeline metrics: sourcing response rates, screen-to-onsite conversion, time-to-fill, offer acceptance rate. You'll be measured on outcomes, not activity.
What You Bring:- 6+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting, with at least 3 years focused on software engineering roles at high-growth SaaS or infrastructure companies
- Demonstrated track record of closing senior and staff-level engineers in competitive markets (SF, Toronto, Montreal are our primary markets)
- Deep sourcing skills across LinkedIn Recruiter, GitHub, and direct outreach. You build pipelines from scratch. Inbound alone won't cut it here.
- Experience running structured interview processes with calibrated scorecards and debrief standards
- Comfort with data: you can pull your own pipeline reports, calculate pass-through rates, and present funnel health to leadership
- Experience with modern ATS platforms (Ashby strongly preferred, Greenhouse/Lever acceptable)
- Strong preference for candidates who have recruited for AI/ML, platform engineering, or developer tools.
What's In It For You:- Competitive salary and meaningful equity opportunities.
- Healthcare, dental, and vision coverage.
- 401(k) / RRSP enrolment program.
- Take what you need PTO.
- A work culture where:
- You'll work alongside folks across the globe that reflect the MaintainX values: Smart Humble Optimist.
- We believe in meritocracy, where ideas and effort are publicly celebrated.
